Creditors -of Private Com
pany Protest.
MONEY DUE HELD UNPAID
Payments Aggregating Millions Au
thorized by Congress Declared
I Held Vp by Board.
NEW TORK, March 29. The com
mittee representing creditors of the
United States Mail Steamship com
pany today issued a statement chain
ing that the attitude taken toward
them by the United States shipping
board "is rapidly becoming a scandal
In the eyes of the maritime world."
"Although congress has set aside
$5,500,000 for the specific purpose of
paying innocent creditors," continued
the statement, "the shipping board
may decline to pay these bills until
the claimants have gone through
costly and almost interminable liti
gation. "We represent 600 New "Fork mer
chants and contractors who, trying
to do their share toward building up
am American merchant marine, suf
fered financially to the extent of
about 11,500,000. We know that the
world over, where merchandise is de
livered in good faith to ships, bills
therefor are considered as liens
against the ships.
"When the bankruptcy of the United
States Mail line came we discovered
the government had turned over 25,-
000.000 worth of its ships to a com
pany " which had neither- castv. nor
credit and from which it had nr even
required a bond. The shipping board
now declares the line was responsible
for the debts, not the government."
The creditors' committee then as
serted that the shipping board had
used discriminatory tactics in paying
bills.
"In some cases it appeared," the
statement declared, "that supplies had
'. been ordered direct by the shipping
board1 for these ships and those claims
were paid. Supplies ordered by offi
cers of the company and delivered in
equally good faith had not been paid
for.
"Reconditioning on two of the ships
1 the Ueorge Washington and the
America was paid for by the ship
ping board because Admiral Benson
promised the work would be paid for,
but because Admiral Benson forgot
to mention some of the other government-owned
boats, operated under the
same charters, their bills were not
paid."
north wiM be extended to June 30,
Instead of being in effect only until
May 15; also that the minimum
amount to be shipped by an individual
firm aboard a single vessel will be
reduced from 750 to 500 tons, was
news received yesterday. ' The rate is
reported to have attracted business,
though millers have said that the
limit of 60 days was hardly sufficient
for them to get in touch with buyers
in the territory to make an apprecia
ble showing. The extension is count
ed on to increase shipments.
Low Rate Reported.
Renorts yesterday that space for
1,000,000 feet of lumber for Japan had
been closed for on a steamer from
Portland at a rate of J8 a thousand
feet was scouted by soma steamship
agents, who maintain that sil.&u is
the lowest at which lumber has been
accepted; also that ?12 had been quot
ed within 24 hours for a lot of 1,000,.
000 feet to move' from Grays Harbor.
The situation here, it is declared, in
dicates improvement, despite cutting
by some trans-Pacific lines.

IS THOUGHT PRESAGED.
Exports Believed Only Low Rates
Will Attract Jfew Business for
: European Lines.
Grain freight rates to the United
Kingdom are holding the attention of
the cereal trade and European steam
ship operators because of a down
ward tendency, - believed by some to
presage a. return soon to about 30
shillings, the Tate prevailing early
in the year. When the freight tariffs
strengthened the advance was to 45
shillings, and 50 shillings were asked
lor a time.
The latter part of last week a flat
rate of 40 shillings was indicated on
parcel lots, and today that is freely
otfered, while 37s 6d was reported of
fering for a. vessel out of San Fran
cisco for United Kingdom ports,
wun tne cereal season nearmg an
end, while wheat is holding firm as
to price and- stocks are far from
plentiful, the atitude of grain export
ers is that only low freight rates will
attract new business now.
. The steamer San Francisco, due to
morrow from Puget sound to load for
harbors beyond the Atlantic, has con
siderable wheat to take aboard and
space for some of it was booked on
a basis of 45 shillings. In the event
of a further decline in rates, a con
dition that is viewed as to be ex
pected owing to the amount of ton
nage seeking business as against the
quantity or wheat that can bo moved,
it Is believed that immediately on the
1922-23 cereal season opening freights
will be restored to a higher figure,
perhaps to the peak of 45 shillings
that ruled once since 1922 opened.
Rainier Man Purchases Craft and
It Will Be Added to Fleet .
for Utility Duties.
Leaving behind the days of carry
ing capacity loads on passenger
routes, in which she gained fame for
speed with some of the crack vessels
of the inland fleet, the steamer Olym
pian, which .has been moored at
Fulton for some time, is to enter the
sphere, of towboats. Milton Smith of
Rainier is the new owner of the
steamer and he plans to utilize her
in towing service with the steamers
Nestor, Cowlitz and Service. Sale of
the, Olympian yr&a made through the
Kelso State bank.
The Olympian was built in 1903 at
Everett, Wash., being sent forth
under the name of the Telegraph and
as such she gained a reputation of
being one of the fastest of the stern
wheel type. She operated on various
runs on Puget sound and was brought
here under that name, but returned
to the north and several years ago
was brought back again and plied on
the Portland-Astoria route. She was
tried qn the run to The Dalles but
her draft proved an obstacle. The
Olympian has an Indicated horse
power of 1500 and is 153.7 feet long,
has a beam of 25.7 and depth of hold
of 8 feet.
The Service of the Milton Smith
fleet was formerly the steamer In
land Empire, built in 1908, while the
Cowlitz was built here in 1917 and
the Nestor was turned out in 1902 at
Catlin, Wash.

LUMBER YARDS OVERSTOCKED
Retirement ot Part of Fleet Laid to
Decrease ia Construction.
Retirement of some of the steam
schooner fleet for a short time from
the coast trade is attributed by op
erators here largely to the fact that
southern al'fornia lumber yards are
temporarily overstocked. Unfavorable
weather conditions have prevented
construction in that region for longer
than usual, while "flu" included many
tiuiiders and some of their force in its
attacks. All have contributed to the
falling off in demand for lumber.
The fleet out of commission, wh"ch
numbers many of the smaller car
riers, has 3 combined lumber capacity
of approximately 20,000,000 feet. It
is estimated that lumber on hand in
the southern territory will take care
of requirements for a period of 60
days, by which time the idle steam
schooner tonnage will have been re
turned to service.

AH wheat bids were a cent lower at th
Merchants' Exchange than at the preced
ing session. Club and forty fold could be
bought at $1.20, Portland, although not
much was offering. "Demand for millin

export wheat was reflected in the bids.
A small amount of export business is bein
worked in parcels of both wheat and
flour.
Barley and oats are dragging in th

will soon be possible. Corn is also quiet.

'Dull professional market. Decline due

The weather and crop report of the

The Kansas state crop report said
Wheat is looking fine in all eastern parts
of the state except the north central,
where most of the crop is just coming up
and it is too soon to ascertain just how
much vitality it shows, but practically all
of it seems to be alive yet and conditions
are favorable. Oats are nearly all in in
the south and coming up in good stands.
Hundreds of acres of winter wheat ground
have already been seeded to oats and a
large portion yet to be planted to other
grains in the eastern part of Lincoln and
southwestern part of Ottawa counties.
Wheat fields that remain standing do not
show prospects over 50 per cent."
The Illinois wheat condition is esti
mated at 95 per cent, except in a few sec
tions. Acreage abandoned is small. .

WHEAT SURPLUS IS HELD AMPLE
Reserve May Be Carried 'Into the Next
Crop Year.
Ater setting aside the quantities of
wheat required for home consumption until
the next harvest, the wheat exporting
countries have an exportable surplus of
43.000,000 bushels, according to the Inter
national Institute of Agriculture.
It is impossible to .form an accurate
estimate of the quantities the importing
countries will require before the end of
July, when their next wheat crop will be
gathered, but it is ascertained that the
aggregate wheat crop in the importing
countries which are furnishing data to
the institute will be . considerably . larger
than last year, being 1,016,600.000 bushels,
compared with 800,000,000 last year.
Imports of all the importing countries
trgether between August and December,
ir21,- were larger than the previous year.
at d, supposing the shipments between
January and July of 1922 reach the same
figure (despite the increased yields and
additional quantities imported during the
last five months), the. totals will still be
within the limits of the exportable surplus.
."It is even probable that an exportable sur-
I lus will still exist in August, 1922.
The aggregate sowings of wheat during
this winter extended to 107,000,000 acres,
or 1.3 per cent more than last year. .A
reduction in the areas under wheat oc
curred in Europe, and there also was a
slight reduction in the wheat area in the
United States, but this is neutralized by an
increase in India.

chiefly near the end of the day and after
a former president of the Kansas state
board of agriculture was quoted as saying
the Kansas wheat crop was entering the
growing season with a prospect of a
greater production than at anv time in tie
history of the state. No more than 3 per
cent of the acreage would be abandoned.
It was said.
Although bulls had the advantage dur
ing the earlier part of the day, it was no
ticed that reports of high winds, green bug
damage and other unfavorable crop condi
tions in the southwest were unaccompanied
oy orders to purchase. An advancn in
Liverpool quotations was likewise only a
temporary stimulus, inasmuch as export
urns provea to De lor tne most rtart nut

The Chicago era in

of Portland, follows:
Wheat Numerous croo da ma are reDorta
were again in circulation and for a time
dominated the market, but were later out
weighed by the unfavorable condition of
southwestern cash markets. Receipts at
all points were somewhat smaller but the
aemana was eorresDondinerlv notir. excent
for the, good grades available in Chicago
and Minneapolis. The advance in Liver
pool futures attracted little attention and
cables reported supplies plentiful and spot
prices lower. Official reports on crop con
ditions are very much in contrast to the
calamitous messages coming from private
sources. The situation in a way is a pecu
liar one. According to all statistical com
pilations, the world's supply of wheat is
hardly ample to cover requirements for the
remainder of the season, yet visible sup
plies are liberal and potential buyers ap
parently are not concerned over the future.
No doubt actual damage to the growing
crop would stimulate domestic and foreign
buying of wheat, but there Is nothing of
the sort in sight at this time and we do
not think such bulges as recorded today
can be maintained.
"Corn Trade was Inactive with the mar
ket showing a lagging tendency. Cash
markets started fractionally higher, but
were easy at the close with yesterday's
discounts obtaining. Further sales were
made to go to store, emphasizing the slow
ness of the demand. Only a small amount
of export business was reported by the
seaboard. Although receipts at present
are small, there will soon be an increase
and unless the demand improves mate
rially, lower prices are certain to be estab
lished. "Oats Trade small and within narrow
limits.-. A more friendly feeling was notice-1
able, inspired by an improvement in the '
cash demand, which advanced spot prices
on light receipts.. Complaints of delayed
seeding and the possibility of a smaller
acreage are beginning to come in from all
sections and should the cash demand
broaden sufficiently to make inroads on
the visible supply a stronger market oan
be expected.
4Rye Trade light and market feature
less. There was little evidence of hedg
ing by the northwest and the buying by
eastern interests against export sale wa3
alsq less conspicuous. Cash rye was nom
inally steady."

NO SUBrtUS OF BUTTER HERE
Market Is Steady In Spite of Weakness
in Sooth.
The local butter niarket holds steady,
in spite of the repeated declines at San
Francisco, as the supply here is light.
But for the unsettlement caused by the
butterfat war, the market would be called
healthy. . '
The ess market, in the opinion of most
dealers, was easier, as the heavy receipts
failed to clean up. - Prices were main
tained, however.
Light receipts of poultry prevented any
decline in prices of hens, notwithstanding
the poor demand. Country dressed meats
were also slow.

demonstrated by the sale of the J. K. Gill

Mr. Freeman yesterday. "It is only for
the reason that better opportunities are of
fered that people go outside the state to
invest their money. It is good business
sense to diversify one's investments, but
We have believed that people prefer on

The ready saie of the Gill bonds substan

Knitting Is Expected to Absorb
Present Stocks and Pulled
Wools Reported Scarce.
(Copyright by the Public Ledger Company.
Published by Arrangement.)
PHILADELPHIA, March 29. (Special.!
Wool continues to mark time. Demand
has slackened, due to steady curtailment
by mills. Most manufacturers find imme
diate needs well covered and sre doing
little except to cover special wants. Prices
are nominal and in buyers' favor. Stocks
offer no general selection and are expected
to find their way into mills before new clip
wools are available.
Knitting continues to enjoy more than
its share of activity. This outlet is count
ed upon to absorb present stocks of wool,
largely made up of one-quarter and three
eighths blood grades. All piece goods are
dull.
Pulled wools are scarce; this month
about winds up the long wool season. Pro
duction on winter wools is only about 60
to 70 per cent normal, due to scarcity of
skins. This brings the season's close a
month to six weeks earlier than usual.
Scoured wool is spotty, but a fair move
ment is reported. ,
